Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain whole-milk thick Greek-style yogurt, room temperature
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup protein or collagen peptides powder

Toppings Optional

  • Dollop of whipped coconut cream – recipe below in notes
  • Drizzle peanut (or any other nut or seed) butter
  • Drizzle peanut (or any other nut or seed) butter
  • Fresh fruit or berries
  • Seeds like hemp, or chia
  • Coconut shreds
  • Freeze-dried fruit,crumbled
  • Peanut butter powder

Instructions

  • Place the yogurt in the bowl of a food processor or a large metal bowl and process or whisk until smooth.
    Melt the chocolate next. Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave with 20 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.
    Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.
    Once melted, let the chocolate cool a little then quickly pour it into the center of the yogurt.Immediately process or whisk until well blended, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
    You can mix it in partially to create a swirl effect or mix it in completely.
    Taste, adding honey or maple syrup if you would like it sweeter, and processing until well combined.
    Transfer to an airtight storage container or layer into individual parfaits with fruit, crushed cookies, granola, or whatever moves you. Enjoy as is, or, for a thicker and creamier texture, chill for at least an hour.
    Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
    Top Tip:  Temperature Matters
    The only potential challenge in making this easy pudding is being mindful of temperature. You need the warm melted chocolate to mix smoothly into the cool yogurt before it starts to harden and seize.
    Using the food processor makes this step super-fast and easy, although you can whisk it by hand in a bowl instead if you are quick.
    It can also help to measure the yogurt and let it sit at room temperature for a while before adding the chocolate so it’s not so cold. When you add the hot melted chocolate, dump it into one spot, don’t drizzle it over the yogurt.
    If you are using a food processor, quickly get the lid on and process before the chocolate has time to cool. If you are using a bowl and whisk, get the chocolate in and get whisking right away.
    Or for a swirl effect simple stir it in until you are happy with the distribution of the melted chocolate.
    Top with your chosen toppings.
